Sun, Moon and Stars

The theme of this month's electronic dance and fetish party Sanctuary Above the Crypt is “as above, so below.” This Hermetic mantra originated from Hermes Trismegistus' Emerald Tablet. In keeping with previous dualist themes of the monthly gathering, costuming options are virtually endless. Whether you bask in the sun or prefer the shade of night, all those aged 18-and-above are invited to a synthesis of tenebrosity and effulgence. DJs Xibalbalola, Brad Cole and Fetality spin the gloom and dazzle. Burlesque and fetish performances and a piercing demo add interest to revelry. Admission is seven bucks for those 21-and-over and $10 for those over 18. (Samantha Anne Carrillo)
